493 equal divisions of the tritave, perfect twelfth, or 3rd harmonic (abbreviated 493edt or 493ed3), is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/1 into 493 equal parts of about 3.86 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 31/493, or the 493rd root of 3.

493edt is essentially equivalent to 311edo (with patent vals matching through the 43-limit), maintaining its extremely strong consistency record through to the 42-integer-limit.
